Hi @goodfella777 and welcome to the community! If you did have to appeal for PIP then it would be a very similar process, so in that respect you would know what you were up against
The fact you get ESA would have no weighting on your PIP claim

Thanks for your help I really think it’s terrible if you’ve went through it for a different benefit it should help with a future claim obviously within a timescale, thank you once again
